R5? R6? Anyone?

I am getting more and more accustomed to the R5 and it's various functions.

One thing I thought I would share:

The older batteries (LP-E6N) will work in the camera, however, they do not have enough power for the mechanical shutter to work at its highest speed no matter what other combination settings you use. The electronic shutter will shoot at 20 fps with the older batteries. I don't know if using two of them in a battery grip would change things.

The new battery (LP-E6NH) will allow the high speed setting to function with the mechanical shutter even when it gets below 1/2 power.

Do you know how fast of fps you get with the older batteries? I've been curious.

For whatever reason, it is part of the spec that you need LP-E6NH batteries for 12 fps. I just noticed you also need to be 1/1000th of faster on the shutterspeed.
